Description: Contemporary - Medium

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Commissioned by the Gates-Chili High School Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Chris Oldfield.

An even-8th folk-jazz song inspired by the uplifting, nostalgic spirit of groups like Oregon and the Pat Metheny Group. The chart opens with a long call by the saxophones, a cappella, before the acoustic-guitar driven groove gets the band on the road. Solos for trumpet and tenor saxophone. Lots of great melodies are woven throughout this chart, evoking a spirit of freedom and joy.
